SOMEONE ELSE
Some people are so strange, don’t know where to point the blame
Some people are so weird, they’re so hard to trust, hard to fear
Some people can’t work it out, they kick and bitch and scream and shout
Some people ain’t got a clue, you never know just what they’ll do
They say “It’s Someone else! - It’s not me!!!”
They say “It’s Someone else! - Aw, can’t you see?!!”
They say “It’s Someone else! - But, It’s not me.....”
“It’s.....SOCIETY!!!” (Aw yeah)
Some people are so screwed up, they love to hate; hate to love
Some people ain’t got a clue, you never know just what they’ll do
Some people can’t work it out, they kick and bitch and scream and shout
Some people are so lame, claim they’ll change, but they stay the same
They say “It’s Someone else! - It’s not me!!!”
They say “It’s Someone else! - Aw, can’t you see?!!”
They say “It’s Someone else! -But, It’s not me.....”
“It’s.....SOCIETY!!!” (Aw yeah)
It’s someone else, it’s someone else, it’s someone else IT’S NOT ME!!!
SOCIETY, SOCIETY, SOCIETY, IT’S GONE MADD!!!!!

WORLD HALF GONE
Maybe this time, I’ll get it right, when I try to subside.
All of my friends, like to send, me to the end.
I can’t be holding on
I won’t be waiting long
Living in a world half gone
Nowhere to go, outta control, the only world I know.
Pressure on me, will not secede, it will always be.
CHORUS
Pressure on me, will not secede, it will always be.
Nowhere to go, outta control, the only world I know.
CHORUS

HIDE THE SUN
They hid the sun, and told no one, nothing can be done
Go hide the sun, and tell no one, take away the fun!
That’s alright - they said
We know we’ll soon be dead

(Human) POTATO CHIPS
Cut ‘em up, cook ‘em up, throw it in some grease
All I want is something, that’s good for me to eat.
Fuck!!! . . . Fritos and Doritos and all that other shit
All I want is some, human potato chips.
Don’t like Lays, but that’s OK
Sometimes I have to eat them anyway
Dice ‘em up, slice ‘em up, into the boiling grease
All I need is something that’s good for me to eat.
Fuck!!! . . .
(deep fat, boiled & fried, arms & ears, legs & thighs)
Cut ‘em up ...

Anything open minded and

BLEED ON ME
Bleed . . .
On . . .
Me . . .
Try to protect, try to protect yourself
Try to defend, to defend everyone else
Try to pretend, try to pretend you’re safe
Don’t you depend,
Don’t depend on anyone else!
She bleeds all over me
Try to pull out, try to pull outta this sale
Try to deny, to deny that anything’s real
Try to protract, try to protract this spell
Don’t you describe,
I don’t want to hear about how you feel!
She bleeds on me
She . . .
Bleeds . . .
On . . .
Me . . .

Mystery Train

MYSTERY TRAIN
From San Fran to Pittsburgh down to Fort Lauderdale
Locomotive motion unending on it’s way
But inside the boxcars by order of the state
Is a mystery concealed to the rest of the world.
No rhyme or reason will pay the federal bills
For south pacific at the end of each day
So, plutonium and prisoners are loaded side by side
And the CIA sends them on their way
All aboard, the mystery train
Tickets please, across the USA
A quiet elimination of air transportation
And now the media won’t see a thing
All hidden cargo transported in the night
By cover of darkness that seems so insincere
We wonder what travels across our gorgeous land
At night on the tracks rumbling so near
Chemicals and warheads and spies without a home
Ain’t it no wonder we’re living in fear

Nobody (Live)

NOBODY
Have you ever really gotten sick of everything
Simplicity and easiness have been lost in thinking
Ice cold stares of everyday are pounding in my head
Traveling in circles, like life will never end.
I AM NOBODY
Surrounded by material things
But they’re meaningless to me
It seems to me the things
We really need in life are free.
I AM NOBODY
An insignificant speck of dust
Not changing despite my efforts
Getting tired of life an d all it’s jokes
And trying to make things happen.
Does anyone know how it feels
To mean nothing to no one
With no direction to point
This disillusion
I AM NOBODY

SEGREGATION, SEPARATION
Tear down America’s version of the Berlin Wall
The prejudice and hate that separates us all
It begins with competition and sports in our schools
Parents put ill thoughts in our heads to
Clubs for only women, clubs for only men
Clubs for the rich, segregation has to end
Desegregate, but don’t over do it
So it ends up in reverse discrimination.
Segregation ,Separation - I thought this country was free
Segregation ,Separation - Divides the world
Segregation ,Separation - Causes conflict
Segregation ,Separation - It shouldn’t be this way
Cities are divided into racial sects
We bar up and fence in our homes
For God’s sake, don’t let anybody else in
We’re isolating ourselves from the human race
Open your mind, why be so narrow
You keep your mouth shut until it happens to you
Treat others as you would have them treat you
Someone must take the lead hoping others will follow

Four Walls, No Doors

FOUR WALLS, NO DOORS
Four walls, no doors, I can’t take this any more
If I don’t get out now, there’s nowhere else to go
If I don’t get out now, I will explode
The walls, the walls are closing in
Around, around the room I spin
To rip, to tear these four walls down
Closing in all around

CRUEL SIDEWALK
Walkin down this cruel sidewalk
Nobody wants to talk
Everybody is dressed the same
Well, I don’t want to play that game
Walkin down this corridor
It’s an empty hall and nothing more
Doors slam shut, left and right
There is no end in sight
Walkin down this cruel sidewalk
Now everybody wants to talk
But I’ve got nothing to say
I’M DEAD! so get out of my way
Walkin down this cruel sidewalk

NOW
Down! down! we go
Down into a hole
Spinning and spiraling
Ooo-whee! Away we go
Now we are destroying
Our very own selves
Killing off each other
For reasons no one can tell
Now we are encouraging
Sex and violence
Amongst us and within us
Destroying our sense of sense
Up! Up! We go!
As we rip a hole
Into the atmosphere
With everything we know
Blood spills
The world is ill
No one gives a shit
Democracy, debauchery
Who can tell the difference
Nothing changes everyday
Pathetic, still the same
What’s the difference between
Crazy and insane

No Control (Live)

NO CONTROL
We’ve learned to live in conformity
Minor rebellion doesn’t make us free
Imagine something to change our lives
And live the dream, if it’s right
There is no way in time to break from the control
We’ve perfected all our habits, but freedom is our goal
Give them
No Control — Another day
No Control — Another pain
No Control — No more depression
No Control — It’s all the same
Some are the one who get things done
And live their fantasies
Most of us sit back and dream
Of things we’d like to be
Give them
No Control — We need our dreams
No Control — A way to learn
No Control — Or we’ll stagnate
No Control — And be controlled
Satisfied to watch the world turn itself to sleep
And at their death no one will cry
They’ll look up and wonder why
